The Process
How TradeHire Works
Two sides of one verified network. Whether you hold a trade license or you're hiring licensed talent — here is exactly how TradeHire works for you.
Create Your Verified Profile
Enter your license number and trade category. TradeHire cross-references your credentials against Maine's official state licensing database in real time. Your name, phone, and contact info stay completely hidden — only your verified qualifications are shown to employers.
Takes about 10 minutes. No resume required.
Set Your Availability & Preferences
Tell us what you're open to: full-time, part-time, seasonal, or just exploring. Set your preferred radius, trade categories, and the wage range you'd consider. You can update these any time and pause your visibility instantly.
You control who can see you and when.
Engage On Your Terms
When a qualified employer reaches out, you'll get a notification through our masked communication system. Review their company profile, job details, and offered compensation before deciding whether to respond. Reveal your identity only when you're ready.
Your real contact info is never shared without your consent.
Post a Role or Search the Pool
Create a job posting with trade-specific requirements — license type, authority level, certifications, and experience. Or skip the posting entirely and search our network of verified technicians directly using trade-specific filters no general job board offers.
Search by license type, authority, location, and availability.
Review Verified Credentials
Every technician profile you see has been validated against state records. Browse qualifications, license authority levels, years of experience, and availability without seeing personal information until both parties agree to connect.
No guesswork. No unverified applicants.
Connect and Schedule
Send a connection request through our masked communication system. If the technician accepts, our built-in scheduling tool coordinates availability windows, sends calendar invites, and handles SMS reminders automatically. After your call, you get an AI-generated summary.
From search to scheduled interview in minutes, not weeks.
The Interview Process
Every call is verified by AI
TradeHire uses masked phone numbers, call recording, and AI sentiment analysis to ensure every interview is legitimate — and you only pay for real connections.
Schedule the interview
Pick a 15-minute time slot. Both parties receive a masked phone number — real numbers stay private.
The Privacy Promise
Privacy is built into every step
Technician identities are never exposed without explicit consent. Employer contact info is masked through our communication layer until both parties agree to connect. Every interaction on TradeHire is designed with privacy at the foundation — not as an afterthought.
